The "second season" if you will, begins today. The 49ers have been eliminated from playoff contention so now it's all about pride and building towards next year. The 49ers are two touchdown favorites today, and it'd be nice to see them bury the Lions early. We want to see the defense shut down the Lions. We want to see Alex Smith pick apart the Lions secondary. We want to see Frank Gore run wild. There is plenty to enjoy in the game, even if it means nothing for playoff purposes.
GO NINERS!
